about GDP and grassroots politics as it is right now...

I don't care what category of rational person you are--progressive, Dem, liberal, indy, sane Republican or ex-Republican--we are ALL coming off of the nightmare ride of Bu$h and the Neocons. We have ALL been abused & disrespected & lied to & exploited for their gain.

Now there's a fragile ray of hope on the horizon. Emotions are running high...this has been hard won. We have had to witness the country being driven into the ditch. We are now in dire straits everywhere you look. Everyone is nervous and concerned about the political future. So try not to take the vitriol around here quite so personally. A lot of it (other than shit-stirrers) comes out of fear and a state of being just as downtrodden as women as a group- have been. I wouldn't expect people around here to be in control of their emotions. Hopefully things will settle down and we can pull together soon. It would help greatly for Hillary herself to come out for Obama instead of playing this petty game into oblivion--claiming FL and MI as victories is really crass. This isn't helping her supporters or the healing that needs to occur.

That being said your comments are important because they do express what a large group is feeling over Hillary's loss right now. It's genuine and needs to be said.
